Ok, it’s a blue whale, not a white one. Sue me. Our blue cetacean friend is found on the side of the soon to be opening Alexis+Bolt, which bills itself as a “carefully curated shop for men and women,” whatever that might mean. The sign on the front suggests that friendly dogs and their humans are welcome. The mural itself is a product of Eastside Murals, the moniker under which Ian Lawrence and Sterling Goller-Brown do their work. I’ve featured their work before, such as in The cats are loose. I know of at least one other animal mural from them – perhaps something of a theme.

Located at 506 Monroe Street in Germantown. The mural is on the east side of the building, facing 5th Ave. Street parking is reasonably available. If you go Feb 18th or later (the advertised opening day) you can find out what the carefully curated goods are!
